Obsession With Leaves

Ma Nature curbed my obsession.
Who could disturb her leaves under snow?

17 Nov 2014

in response to our sudden snowfall last Sunday night
I would have finished raking the yard on Monday.

I have never raked leaves because of this very reason. I loved your two lines and am glad you placed. Congrats.

Don't feel bad, it was the only picture which you could spot leaves still on the trees. Thanks for the honorable mention.

Thanks for the comment. I am done with leaves for this fall. My neighbor's all tell me to cut them up...I've put out 24 (55 gallon size) bags for the garbageman thus far. He likes the balance that leaves add to regular trash.
